VI. TESTS: Two closed book examinations will be given covering material presented in the textbook. The exams will consist of two parts. The first part is multiple choice and totally closed book. This part covers the concepts laid out in the text book and explained in class, The second part consists of problems similar to those worked in class. This part is also closed book, except that the student is allowed to bring to the exam the equivalent of one 8 1/2 x 11 inch piece of paper on which the student can have equations with an explanation of the terms of the equation. The student is not allowed to put worked examples on this “formula sheet” and it must be turned in with the exam when completed.
The third test is a matching terms and definitions test. The terms are attached to his syllabus and the definitions are out of the back of the book. The student may take this test at any time during the course, either from the Instructor or the Coordinator. The terms and definitions test may be taken before or after class, during lunch, or any other agreed upon time and day.
VII. PAPER AND PRESENTATION: Student will prepare a 5-7 page paper on an applicable
topic (approve topic with instructor before submitting), and present the paper orally to the
class on the last day of the session.
